Chapter 148 I am naturally irritable and have no manners

Xie Zhuoning pursed his lips tightly and dared not speak, fearing that if he opened his mouth to speak, Shang Xuan's mouth would be unable to be suppressed.

But in Xiao Bichen's eyes, it had another meaning.

She endured it, felt wronged, but persisted without saying a word.

A pair of shallow eyes, seem to hide thousands of emotions.

Thinking of her clear and organized refutation of the officials of Prince Yong's party in the court, thinking of her stunning dance at the palace banquet, thinking of her beautiful eyes and charming smile, Xiao Bicheng originally wanted to leave in anger, but in the end he did not move a step.

In the past, he was completely focused on Bai Yingxue, and only regarded Xie Zhuoning as a shield, a stepping stone, and a ladder to the sky. Every time he showed affection and love, he was perfunctory and half-hearted.

But at some point, his gaze began to slowly linger on Xie Zhuoning.

It seemed like she could always give him unexpected surprises without realizing it.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he softened his tone, "Sister Zhuoning, I was a little harsh just now, but you also went too far this time. It's cute to be a little bit naughty, but if you do it too much, you'll be a little immature."

He is the prince of Daye and has to deal with state affairs every day. How could he have so much time to coax her?

Xie Zhuoning asked sincerely and curiously, "What does the eldest prince mean by sensible? Does it mean that if my fiancé has an affair with another woman, I should turn a blind eye? Or does it mean that if you give me a little charity, I should be grateful? Or does it mean that if a woman outside gets pregnant with your child, not only can I not complain, but I must also diligently take care of her during her confinement?"

Don't be ridiculous!

Just a few words made Xiao Bicheng so angry that his face turned red.

He frowned, with a hint of anger, "So what? Which wife didn't go through this? Moreover, you are the future empress, the master of the central palace. If you can't even tolerate Xue'er, how can you tolerate the concubines in the six palaces?"

Xie Zhuoning quickly stepped back, not wanting to get close to him. "Just now the eldest prince said that he would not even give me the position of a concubine. Now he is talking about the future empress and the master of the imperial palace. Isn't this a bit too ridiculous?"

Besides, did he really think that he could successfully ascend to the throne like in his previous life?

"I..." Xiao Bicheng stuttered, "I just said those words in anger! If you are willing to be more obedient, the position of the legal wife will naturally be yours!"

Xie Zhuoning raised one corner of his lip and sneered, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm naturally irritable and don't know how to behave."

"Xie Zhuoning, do you really want to go against me? I remember you were not like this before!" Xiao Bicheng shook his head, his disappointment evident in his words.

She used to be well-behaved, sensible and clingy, how come she has become like this now?

Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

He didn't take his acting seriously, so why did he take it seriously when he was acting himself?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Fuling come in with a bowl of dark medicine, "I have met the eldest prince."

Xiao Bicheng heard the noise and turned to look at her, "What are you talking about?"

Fuling replied, "It's my young lady's medicine."

"What medicine?" Xiao Bicheng frowned and asked in confusion.

Just as Fuling was about to speak, Xie Zhuoning interrupted her, "No, no, take it away!"

Her face was full of disgust, as if she was extremely resistant to the soup.

"Miss, please take the medicine, otherwise what if you get sick at night?" Fuling suddenly panicked, and her tone was almost begging.

"Sick? What's wrong?" The wrinkles between Xiao Bichen's brows deepened a little.

Fuling's face turned pale and he quickly shook his head, "No, my young lady is not sick. This medicine is just an ordinary tonic."

The more he denied it, the more suspicious Xiao Bicheng became.

Just as he was about to reach out to take the medicine, he saw Xie Zhuoning was faster than him. He immediately snatched the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Is that all?" She impatiently threw the medicine bowl onto the tray.

"Then you guys continue your conversation, Prince. I'll take my leave." Fuling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her finish drinking the medicine.

It looked as if there would be some serious consequences if Xie Zhuoning did not take the medicine.

Xiao Bicheng's suspicion grew stronger. "Sister Zhuo Ning, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I told you, I'm fine." The more confident Xie Zhuoning's answer was, the more suspicious he became.

Xiao Bicheng used both soft and hard tactics, threats and inducements, but he didn't get a good response from Xie Zhuoning. He immediately snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned away.

As soon as he left the house, he immediately called his personal guard, "Go check what happened to Xie Zhuoning?"

Not only did his temperament suddenly change, but the medicine he drank also seemed to have problems.

She must be hiding something from herself!

the other side.

After Xie Zhuoning was angry with Xiao Bicheng and left, he hurriedly sat on a chair and took a sip of iced tea.

Otherwise I’ll be very angry!

"What medicine did you take?" At some point, Xiao Jinxuan walked over and sat down next to her.

Judging from her tone, he had been listening nearby when she took the medicine just now.

Xie Zhuoning propped his chin with his hands, looked at him across the tea table, and said nonchalantly, "It's poison. Your Highness Prince Xuan, would you like to drink a bowl? It's delicious!"

I thought he would refuse, but he said without hesitation, "It's okay to try it."

"Ah?" Xie Zhuoning was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jinxuan glanced at her calmly, "The poison is gone?"

That one glance seemed to make all the little thoughts in her heart disappear without a trace.

"How is that possible!" Xie Zhuoning immediately asked Fuling to bring another bowl.

When she placed it in front of Xiao Jinxuan, she deliberately said, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, think carefully. I only have one antidote. If you are poisoned to death, I will not save you."

Xiao Jinxuan didn't hesitate for a moment, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, I couldn't help but comment, "Too sweet."

Fuling covered her mouth and laughed.

It’s just sugar water, how can it not be sweet?

Xie Zhuoning was quite disappointed. "Aren't you afraid that it's really poison?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you really want to poison me to death?"

Xie Zhuoning muttered softly, "It's not like I haven't thought about it."

Xiao Jinxuan: “…”

Do you have a grudge against her?

Does she really want herself to die?

After taking a sip of tea to suppress the sweet taste in his mouth, he asked, "Then why don't you want to do it anymore?"

I have thought about it before, which proves that something happened in the middle that prompted her to change her mind.

Xie Zhuoning said slowly, "After thinking it over, I felt that poisoning would kill you too quickly, and you wouldn't feel any pain, so I gave up the plan."

Not only do you want to kill him, you also want him to die painfully. How much do you hate him?

Xiao Jinxuan looked sullen, "Have I ever done anything to hurt you?"

That expression was so serious that Xie Zhuoning's heart ached and an indescribable complex feeling surged into his heart.

She laughed and said, "I'm kidding. You're so pretty, why would I want to kill you?"
